Preventive Care Is Key to a Long-Lasting Smile

While we offer various dental services, we focus on preventive dentistry and believe it’s the key to maintaining excellent, lifelong oral health. Routinely scheduled check-ups and cleanings are vital to a preventive care routine.

Dr. Holt and our team provide thorough exams and teeth cleanings during appointments to monitor your oral health, look for signs of disease, and remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth. We also screen for oral cancers and strive to spearhead issues in the earliest stages to avoid extensive treatment in the future.

Gentle Children’s Dentistry in Knoxville, TN

Children have unique dental needs, and we recommend bringing your child in to see us around their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth. During routine check-ups, we monitor your child’s dental development and health and gently clean their teeth. If your child is more prone to cavities, we offer fluoride treatments and sealants to protect their teeth from decay.

We strive to create a compassionate and caring atmosphere where kids and their families feel safe and well cared for. It’s our highest mission to treat your child as our own!

Gentle Dentistry for Children in Knoxville, TN

Everyone on our team is here to ensure your child feels special and has fun at the dental office. During a dental exam, Dr. Holt carefully checks your child’s teeth, gums, jaws, and surrounding oral structures and tissues to ensure they develop properly. He also looks for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other concerns.

Next, the hygienist gently cleans and polishes your child’s teeth, removing sticky bacteria (plaque) that can lead to tooth decay. The hygienist will then brush and floss your child’s teeth and demonstrate how to practice proper oral hygiene at home.

Dr. Holt also provides fluoride treatments and sealants to protect against tooth decay.

Is It Time for Your Child’s Dental Check-Up?

Call us today to schedule your child’s dental exam and cleaning at our Knoxville dental office.

Can dental cleanings help prevent gum disease?

Dental cleanings are your best defense against gum disease, along with other healthy habits, such as:

Brushing and flossing at least twice daily
Quitting tobacco in all forms
Reporting oral health changes to your dentist sooner rather than later

It’s important to remember that gum disease, which is treatable but rarely curable, starts as gingivitis. If your Knoxville dentist catches the condition in the gingivitis stage, we can often reverse it.

So, at the first signs of gum changes, we encourage you to contact our team for an assessment. These changes can include some or all of the following:

Gum Recession
Loose or Mobile Teeth
Bleeding gums when brushing and flossing
Gum redness or irritation

Gum Disease in Knoxville: What You Should Know

Gum disease describes infections and inflammation in the bones and tissues that support your teeth. Without intervention from your dentist, you risk:

Tooth Loss
Systemic Health Complications
Low Birth Weight
Pregnancy Complications

Recent studies even link gum disease to Alzheimer’s Disease and Rheumatoid arthritis.

Fortunately, gum disease treatment can lower your risk for complications, and good habits, including professional teeth cleanings in Knoxville, TN, can help prevent the disease entirely.
